A blog recording the making of 100 flowers over 100 days for the 100 Day Project. The flowers will be sewn onto a cape. Because I can. That's all.

Day 45: captured pattern

Here is today's effort. As you can see, I've managed to capture some of the pattern on the fabric. It's not as easy as you'd think. If the pattern is too close to the edge you miss it because you have to leave some room around the edge for the sewing machine foot. As it was one of the petals is a bit squashed because there was insufficient space left. Never mind, it's done, and all before I went out!

Today's featured photo is from Tara and Jarvis. Their project makes the bold claim that 'modern art is rubbish'. We don't know about that but we quite like this little guy.That's all for now.

Why this blog?

I'm a born-again sewer and handcraft nerd. One of my favourite colleagues told me about the 100 day project (link below) so, inspired by beautiful haute couture embroidery work, I decided to make 100 fabric flowers to sew onto a cape in the style of the Yves St Laurent bougainvillea cape pictured here. Plus, it will make me learn how to use my new embroidery machine.

Part of the project is to record your efforts, so this blog is a record of the making of 100 fabric flowers, one per day for 100 days.
